While at the Lowry Park Zoo, we were able to hear and video the Laughing Kookaburras. They will put a smile on your face and a tickle in your heart. We have featured them before, but thought they should be featured again.

For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works; at the deeds of Your hands I joyfully sing. (Psalms 92:4 AMP)

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth and sing for joy, yes, sing praises! (Psalms 98:4 AMP)

and

Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad! (Psalms 126:2-3 AMP)

Unless, I change my mind or someone sends me a link to some birds in a “Tickle Me” action, this will probably be the last one for now. While trying to find some videos to use or photos, I became frustrated while searching for appropriate items for this blog. Either evolution, cuss words, or innuendos were used, that I choose not to share. Call me “old-fashioned” or whatever, but we try to honor the Lord on this site.

Here are the Tickle Me Tuesday that were produced. This post will become a link on the menu under PLUS, so all of them can be found again, if you choose. Typing “Tickle Me” in the search will also bring them all back up.

Thanks for the laughing kookaburra, Lee. And thanks for the photography, Dan. As a boy I sang a song in elementary school: “Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree; merry, merry king of the bush is he; laugh, kookaburra, laugh, kookaburra, glad your life must be!” [Or something like that — it’s been 50 years now.] Also, I especially thank you, Lee, for insisting on quality control for the verbal content of your site — it makes perfect sense that a site featuring the Creator’s creatures should honor the Creator of those creatures. Like you, I weary of (and shun) profane babblings (2nd Timothy 2:16) emitted by sacrilegious mouths that appear to compete in a contest of who can abuse the Lord’s name the most (Exodus 20:7; Jude 1:14-15). Anyway, what a funny laugh that kookaburra has — maybe I’ll go to Australia some day and do some birding in the wild there . . . . Meanwhile, maybe I visit some kookaburras that live in a zoo, like you and Dan did.

Oh, these are great! Both of them — but I laughed really hard with the second one. Thanks for sharing them, Lee. I too would like to visit Australia. One good poet friend from there — whose work I’ve often reblogged or posted on Facebook –and I have been talking about how both of our countries have been so degraded by all the liberals in government. Of course, they do have conservatives in power right now. I told him the other day that I had been wondering if I could make it in Australia if I ever had to leave this country, but the way their Foreign Minister has been siding up to Iran lately, I’ve decided moving there wouldn’t do me any good either.

Frankly, I think the only safe place to be may end up being Israel. At least I KNOW FOR SURE what the end of that nation will be. It may take some more fighting and suffering through a few things, but at least I know where it’s headed, and I have God’s Word on it.
